It would be a good idea to connect with a windows system. as a second suggestion is the stability of the wifi connection, it has happened to me that it disconnects just when I am in the middle of a concert

What they need to do is just dump the app all together and make it browser based like Soundcraft does. Then you could run it on any platform! But I agree with this thread and would like to see an app ported for Mac/Windows.

I'd really like to see this on OS X... But I doubt the interface would work quite as fast with a mouse if you want to control multiple channels at the same time, unless you could auto lock... But it's got to be possible... If they do bring out an OS X version, I'd buy the 16 channel straight of, but I don't trust apple to update iOS and make this hardware defunct.

just allow other devices / sw to control with documented OSC messages and these available as udp and websocket....
than someone can write a html/js based page that can be shown in every current web browser - device, operating-system and connection independent...

(just udp would also be great - than you have to have only a small osc udp2websockte bridge - and that is a ready available part of software...)

but yeah - it is mostly a political decision to only support apple ios devices...

I don't believe they will ever release a desktop/laptop developed program. I wish they would of because it may have salvaged a gig that went south for me. Few months back I was working with a large wedding band in NYC. My Mackie DL32R wanted to update, The message prompted via iPad, my fat fingers inadvertently touched "update" instead of "cancel". Granted, all my fault... but I wish there was some way to remote in/direct connection to try and cancel the update. I was petrified and riding blind for the 2hrs 45mins in the last half of a 5hr gig. I thought for sure I was getting fired. Thanks to the good lord above I was working with a very talented engineer and we had the show dialed in pretty well, so well that for that entire time I had no control the band didn't ask for one thing. After I got home and changed my underwear I immediately sought resolution. After hours of research and seeking professional advice from friends and colleagues, I came across the DC16 (which was newly released around that time). To be honest I felt betrayed by Mackie when I discovered this unit and its pricing. Here I have the DL32R that cost me $1800 and they offer the fix to all its physical deficit for 2x as much. I'm sorry but I will not purchase a $3500 mouse. Regardless I hold no hardship to Mackie. They make great product, always have. As for my DL32, that has seen less live work and more session work. It makes for a very powerful 32 channel interface!

YES! Networking issues with iPad can be very problematic. Windows is a much better networking alternative for fail-over options. Would be great to have Master Fader on a Microsoft Surface, etc., for redundant network capabilities.
